Hard to choose. I like Bertrand Russell though.
Here's some of my favorite quotes by him.
Quote:
A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.
Quote:
If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.
Quote:
Patriots always talk of dying for their country but never of killing for their country.
Quote:
The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

you know what i did in english class? I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.

He won the noble peace prize for literature only to refuse to accept it.
Isn't it the noble prize for peace, the noble prize for literature being completely different?
